The Intellectual Roots of Wokeness with James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian


My latest episode features James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian. James is a mathematician, writer, and founder of New Discourses. He is the author of a new book called ‘Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity’. Peter is a philosopher, a professor at Portland State University, and the author of ‘A Manual for Creating Atheists’ and ‘How to Have Impossible Conversations’. During this episode, we talk about critical theory, postmodernism and how these conspired to build the foundation of social justice ideology as we know it today. We talk about the ways in which social justice has departed from its parent ideologies, and much more.
